[@MrBongo24]

When I press the pairing button the controller doesn't show up on the PC. what do I do?

[@jaredambor5653]

it means its older so you need an adapter

[@hijo-jo5776]

Thank you

[@Elitoys9363]

[@football_edits10afc_lfc49]

Thanks bro

[@OyeChico.x8]

Could you make a video on how to connect the Xbox one straight to a laptop?. I have an HDMI port on the laptop and I'm thinking to use it as a monitor instead of the TV. Also I know about the streaming option but it lags too much. Thank

[@fredbarrett7825]

A HDMI port on a laptop is probably a HDMI out, not in. You can check by connecting a HDMI cable between your laptop and your TV. If you can display your laptop screen on the TV then it means that your laptop port is a HDMI out.

THanks!

[@TheWoWisok]

Thanks, in the first 50 seconds of this video I was able to connect, the stupid pictogram "manual' that comes with the xbox controller, as well as their 24+ mins loading screen to get to the support accessories page had me incensed enough that I was going to return the product. +1

I have a wire controller. what steps will I need to take to use on pc ? I don't think it is blue tooth cap.

[@leofurda]
